Always take the stairs and carry your own stuff

According to Dr. Hinohara, we should take the stairs, instead of using the elevator. This is good for the body because this way you are physically more active.

Share the things that you know

Dr. Shigeaku gives around 150 lectures every year in universities, schools, business gatherings etc. He also performs most of his 90-minute lessons standing up which is quite impressive for a 104-year-old man.

You don’t have to retire

Always love what you do, you do not have to retire.

Always plan ahead

If you want to enjoy your life better, you need to have a schedule. Your schedule should be filled with different appointments and lectures. For example, Dr. Hinohara is planning to join the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

Do not be overweight

Dr. Hinohara consumes 1 tablespoon of olive oil, orange juice, and coffee for breakfast. For lunch, he usually has cookies and milk and for dinner, he has rice, vegetables, and fish. He consumes 100 grams of lean meat, two times a week.

Our energy does not come from sleeping a lot or from eating well.

If you want to be happier and more energetic you should eliminate the strict time-regulated rules. You need to eat and sleep only when you feel that you need. If you want to live a better life, you should always have fun and be more like the children.

Life is unpredictable, so should try not to worry too much.

Science cannot cure or help people

According to Dr. Hinohara, every illness can be cured with visual and liberal arts. He also adds that every single individual is unique, and not everything works for all people.

Do not be greedy when it comes to money

Pain is mysterious

Always when you want to forget about the pain that you are feeling, you should do something fun. Music and animals can help you manage and get rid of the pain.

Be inspired

You should always try to motivate yourself. For instance, this amazing person finds motivation in the poem “Abt Vogler” by Robert Browning.
